Frozen! Exploring Body Shapes!
Introducing "Dance to Learn® Ballet: Frozen Body Shapes!" – a Conceptualized-Thematic dance lesson plan designed for children ages 4-7. This enchanting adventure takes young dancers on a journey through the wintry world of Frozen, where they'll discover the captivating art of expressing themselves through various balletic body shapes. By the end of the dance adventure, dancers will have a explored and hold a deeper understanding of the Dance Concept: Body Shapes!
In this lesson plan, we will explore the following four body shapes inspired by the Frozen theme:
- Straight Like a Princess: Stand tall, poised and straight like an elegant Princess as you practice your Relevé walks. These exercises emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper alignment and body control as they lay the groundwork for their ballet journey.
- Curvy Like a Snowman: pretend to build three parts of a curvy Snowman with your port de bras! Don't forget the playfulness of adding eyes, stick arms and of course a carrot nose. Learning how to connect the arms to the torso builds strong trunk stability and coordination of upper body movement.
- Angular Like a Reindeer: Marching and Galloping with angular legs copies the gait of an Angular Reindeer. Additionally learning static skills such as pas de cheval. This segment of the lesson will enhance their understanding of how to incorporate sharp and deliberate motions into their ballet repertoire while improving their static and dynamic balance.
- Twisted like a Warm Hug:Ballet dancers will practice twisted body movements to emulate giving a warm up. This could be hugging and interacting with other dancers in class, or performing twisted movements such as a twirl. These exercises improve social interactions with their peers as well as their vestibular system!
